The graceful man in red clothes had black hair like ink, skin as white as snow, and a pair of bright and watery eyes that were as bright as stars.

This man is so beautiful, a kind of beauty that is extremely feminine.

But his beauty is completely opposite to Jiang Yu's. His beauty is not aggressive, but extremely dangerous, like a poisonous snake ready to strike. He is usually obedient, but will give you a fatal blow without hesitation at the critical moment.

Out of control and hard to grasp.

Lin Shuning could only think of these two words to describe the man in front of him.

She retracted her gaze, turned around, took out silver needles from the medicine box, and sealed several major acupoints of Emperor Jingsheng one by one. Then she stood up, looked at everyone and said, "The process of my detoxification is a unique method taught by my master and cannot be passed on to others. Please ask the Queen, Concubine An, and all the princes to wait outside."

The queen looked unhappy, snorted coldly, and walked out first.

Concubine An was naturally extremely reluctant, but the Queen had already gone out, and she, a concubine, could not stay here, so she had to slowly stand up, and with the help of Jiang Chen, she left the inner hall.

Jiang Yu and Lin Shuning looked at each other, nodded to her calmly, and walked out. The others followed suit. In a short while, only Emperor Jing Sheng, Lin Shuning and Eunuch Li were left in the inner hall.

"Miss Third, I have to stay here to avoid gossip," Eunuch Li bowed and said respectfully, "Don't worry, I will be waiting outside the curtain and will never look at anything I shouldn't."

Lin Shuning also returned a salute. In this respect, she was not as thoughtful as the old man in the deep palace like Eunuch Li. After all, she was an unmarried girl, and although Emperor Jingsheng had many children, he was just a middle-aged man in his forties.

If the two of them were alone together and someone with ulterior motives plotted against them, it might lead to trouble.

After pondering over it, Lin Shuning felt a little more grateful to Eunuch Li: "Thank you, Eunuch Li."

"This is what we should do." After saying this, Eunuch Li looked worriedly at Emperor Jingsheng lying on the couch, and silently retreated to the door of the inner hall.

There was deathly silence in the hall. The only sound that could be heard was the Emperor Jingsheng's labored breathing.

Lin Shuning took out all the silver needles from his body, pierced his fingers to release the poisonous blood, and took out the Seven Stars Spiritual Marrow Pill from the medicine box.

Emperor Jingsheng is now unconscious and unable to swallow, so he can only hold it in his mouth and use the temperature between his lips and teeth to melt the pill.

After observing for a while, Lin Shuning took out a syringe and several sealed medicines from the space, mixed them, and injected them into Emperor Jing Sheng's body.

All right.

Lin Shuning sat quietly on the stool, waiting for the medicine to take effect.

Soon, Emperor Jingsheng's skin, which had turned black due to the poison gas, returned to its original color, his heavy breathing gradually became steady, his brows relaxed, and color gradually returned to his pale face.

"He recovered quite quickly. It seems that this poison only looks a little scary. The poison takes effect quickly and the detoxification is also fast," Lin Shuning muttered to herself. She scanned the hall, as if looking for something.

"The emperor is of noble status, and the palace he lives in is heavily guarded. All items are placed in fixed positions. What did the person who poisoned the emperor use?"

She looked around and finally fixed her eyes on a jade flowerpot with tourmaline and pastel dragon and phoenix patterns. The hibiscus flowers inside were in full bloom, lush pink and with a faint fragrance.

She walked forward and was about to reach out to check when she heard an urging voice outside the door: "What happened to the emperor? Why haven't you let us in for so long? I'm so worried!"

Lin Shuning paused and glanced at Eunuch Li: "Open the door."

The palace door opened, and a group of people led by the Queen immediately rushed in.

The prince who had regained consciousness walked up to Lin Shuning first, and asked in a weak and anxious tone, "How is father's condition now? Has he gotten better?"

Lin Shuning nodded and said, "The poison in His Majesty's body has been resolved. He just needs to rest well. There will be no serious problem."

"Really?" Jiang Hong asked excitedly with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Lin Shuning nodded: "Of course."

The Queen also showed a look of surprise on her face, but it disappeared in an instant. She glanced at Doctor Xiao and said, "Doctor Xiao, please go over and see if the Emperor's condition has really improved as she said."

Imperial Doctor Xiao hurried in and took Emperor Jingsheng's pulse.

Everyone fell silent, as if everyone was waiting for Doctor Xiao's judgment. The other doctors looked at Lin Shuning with contempt and shook their sleeves with disdain.

They had taken turns to diagnose the emperor and found that his pulse was weak and he was about to die.

Could it be that these old officials who have worked in the Imperial Medical Bureau for decades are not as good as a young girl in medical skills?

As soon as the thought came to his mind, the curtain was lifted up with great force.

Doctor Xiao rushed out and knelt in front of the Queen, the Crown Prince and the others. He cried in surprise and joy, "God bless our dynasty, God bless the Emperor!"

The originally weak pulse recovered to be the same as that of a normal person.

At this moment, Doctor Xiao finally understood why King Rui asked him to invite Lin Shuning over. He felt extremely ashamed at the moment. He actually judged others by his own mean standards and relied on his years of medical experience to forget the truth that there are always people better than you.

"What did you say?"

The queen and everyone else were stunned.

The Queen looked at Lin Shuning in disbelief, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes. The imperial doctors felt the same way. How could it be possible that the childish girl in front of them could actually save the Emperor?

The Emperor's pulse was clearly that of a dying person, and it was already at the point of no return. How come it had improved so much in just a few sticks of incense?

Lin Shuning met their gazes calmly and smiled: "Empress, now that you have confirmed that the emperor is fine, let these people go. Only one or two people are needed to serve. Having so many people here will only cause air circulation problems and disturb the emperor's peace. It will be useless."

The Queen rolled her eyes and said, "What you said does make sense. In that case, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I..."

He was interrupted halfway through his speech.

"Empress, please let me take care of the sick. The Crown Prince just had his blood let go and is still very weak. He needs someone to take care of him. Why bother you and the Crown Prince?"

The person who spoke was Concubine An.

She clutched the handkerchief tightly, her eyes full of worry, and her face was so sincere that there was no room for refusal.

The Queen's face looked grim. She thought, "The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Now is the best time to gain the Emperor's attention. How could she give up this opportunity to Concubine An and her son?"

She was about to speak when Jiang Hong on the other side could no longer hold on, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu, who was standing behind him, supported him with his hands, otherwise he would have fallen straight down and might have suffered a concussion.

“Hong’er!” The Queen exclaimed and rushed over: “Someone, come quickly, carry the Crown Prince out, Doctor Xiao, go and treat Hong’er!”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Doctor Xiao carried the medicine box and hurried away with the guards who came to carry the body.

The queen was extremely worried, but when she saw the gloating that flashed across Concubine An's face, she gritted her teeth and suppressed her emotions.

Her son couldn't get close to her, so neither could they.
